[well considering she's probably going to start bawling like two minutes into this conversation, maybe somewhere she won't attract a lot of attention.]

The park? It's nice out today.

[aomeanie]

That works for me, I'll see you soon then. [and with that he sets out to go meet her at the park! he'll be sitting on one of the benches when she gets there.]

[strawberrysorbae]

[she at least manages to pull herself together so she doesn't look like she's been laying around the house like the mess she is, but it's still a far cry from how composed she usually looks; her eyes are tired and sore, and she looks nervous as she approaches, her arms crossed over her chest in a way that looks weary.]

Hi.

[aomeanie]

[he stands up when he sees her approaching.] Hey-- [he still doesn't really know what to say...he's not the type to really spends time thinking about things like this. he also probably has the emotional capacity of a teaspoon if we're being honest here. but he also isn't the type to dick around and beat around the bush.]

I'm going to be honest with you that I'm not really good when it comes to handling these types of emotions. This is all really new to me, so I'm sorry. [he frowns and takes a breath to calm himself.] I'm sorry for running away, but, I'm... not... sorry for kissing you. The reason why I left in a hurry was because I knew you liked someone and I didn't want to mess up your chances of getting with them.

[he just didn't... know that she had feelings for him]

[strawberrysorbae]

[she feels kind of like a cornered animal, because she doesn't have him to hide behind or for support. he's the one she's confronting, and it makes her feel decidedly out of her element.]

You don't know anything about who I have feelings for, and you definitely shouldn't have run away. [she isn't looking at him; can't.] You've never run away from me before.

[aomeanie]

I know, and I'm sorry. [stop the presses, daiki aomine is actually apologizing over something and he means it.] I realize it now that I shouldn't have, that I should have at least explained why I did it. But I was just... so scared that I had fucked up our friendship-- but then I did went ahead and did what I did and I'm sure that's already taken care of that.

[strawberrysorbae]

[she chews on her lip, eyebrows furrowed and eyes glassy.]

Stupid. I don't think there's anything you could do that would fuck up our friendship for good. [they'd been together for so long, and she'd already seen him at his worst.] So explain. Why did you kiss me?

[aomeanie]

[he swallows and looks off to the side. he had been able to look at her through all of this, but actually explaining why he kissed her??? this is going to be hard.]

I don't know, it just felt right? I told you I'm not really good at these things, but I do know that we have gotten closer while being here? So being with you and being in that moment I couldn't really stop myself. But I wanted to do it? [he frowns. he's not really sure how well he's selling himself here.] I don't know.... maybe I like you, or something.

[strawberrysorbae]

[oh. she probably shouldn't find his stumbling words so endearing, or let them make her heart feel so much lighter. stepping closer, there's a hint of a smile on her lips, and her posture is much more relaxed, tears no longer threatening to spill over.]

Maybe? Daichan, that's not convincing me of anything. [she reaches out and takes one of his hands.] Here, this is how you do it. [she has to strain up on her tiptoes to get close enough, but it's easy to brush their lips together again.]

[aomeanie]

[he hunches his shoulders a bit.] I told you I'm not good with these sorts of things-- [oh-- oh. he presses his lips against hers a little shyly. once they're done and they've pulled away from each other he huffs out a sigh.] I hope you don't have any high expectations of whatever this... thing between us is going to be.

[strawberrysorbae]

[he kisses her like he's shy, like he isn't sure what to do with this thing now that he has it, and it makes her feel warm all over.] Daichan, I like you. You. I still care about Tetsukun a lot, but not in that way any more. [she smooths her thumb over one of his cheeks.] I want to be with you, and I trust you to take care of me and do right by me just like you always have, regardless of what you say.

[aomeanie]

[he feels immensely relieved when he hears satsuki say that she wants to be with him. he grabs ahold of her hand and gives it a soft squeeze.] Okay, as long as you're okay with the fact that I'm new to this and will most likely mess up here and there... then we can do this.

[strawberrysorbae]

[the way he squeezes her hand is reassuring.] I haven't exactly done this before, either [her not-dating dating kuroko didn't count.] We'll probably both mess up, but that's okay. Just don't run away from me again.

[aomeanie]

I promise I won't. [he pauses.] You living at home again isn't going to be weird now because we're... dating now, is it?

[strawberrysorbae]

[even though they'd more or less arrived at the conclusion, her heart kicked in her chest to hear him say it out loud, to be the first one of them to say it.] I don't think so. Papa is a little old fashioned, but we have separate rooms. We've...already been kind of acting like a couple for a while now, to be honest.

[she slept at night in her room, but naps always ended up with her curled up in aomine's bed, in his arms. that was one of the good things that came from their fight with kise.]

[aomeanie]

[he looks at her in confusion.] What do you mean? When have we been acting like a couple? [inb4 aomine doesn't think that what they did is what all childhood best friends do.]

[strawberrysorbae]

[um.]

We sleep together? Like, a lot? [her cheeks are turning pink because she really shouldn't have to spell this out.] And you touch me a lot and hold my hand sometimes and stuff too.

[aomeanie]

[he squints.] But I did all that to make you feel better.

[strawberrysorbae]

Wow, thanks. I'm glad you didn't do it because you like me or something. [she huffs unhappily.]

[aomeanie]

I enjoyed it when I did it. [SEE? this is what he was talking about.]

[strawberrysorbae]

[she elbows him.] Well, as long as you enjoyed it. You made it sound like you just did it out of obligation and hated it the whole time.

[aomeanie]

[he shakes his head.] If I hated it then I would have told you. But okay, I get it. We did do a lot of stuff that could be taken for coupley shit.

[he pauses.] So... uhm... Is there a certain something we need to talk about now? Or is it too soon?

[strawberrysorbae]

[okay you just lost her.] A certain something...? What certain something?

[aomeanie]

Never mind..... [if she doesn't get it then clearly there's nothing to talk about.]

[strawberrysorbae]

[hang on give her a second.]
